Sup, everyone.

Just thought I'd drop by and let you guys know how crazy I am.

Recently, I've started a season mode, with the full intentions of playing as every team, every game.

Essentially, the way this will be done will be as follows...

I will play as the home team for every game throughout the regular season, all 1200+ games.

What does this accomplish?

a. Stats that are true and not based on any simulation whatsoever. All the team stats (PP %, PK %, etc) and player stats will be based on the same opportunity as each and every game will be actually played.

b. I get the opportunity to be every player and team in the league. So often, as I've been playing through a Be-A-GM, I've become somewhat bored and wanted to play as Ovie, Crosby, or Stamkos...now, I can be all of them.

c. Longevity of playing. I started last night with this endeavor and had three completely different games. I won 3-2 in a shootout as teh Bruins over the Flyers, tying the game with 1.9 seconds remaining to send the game to OT. I lost 4-1 with the leafs against the Canadiens and followed with a 5-1 as Vancouver over Pittsburgh.

I could have played all night till 4:00 said it was time to get some sleep.

Anyways, just thought I'd drop by and tell of my pursuit.

great to see that you're still playing the game (beside of being a new dad?).

It's been really fun...

It'll probably take a couple of years or so...but thats okay as I see no real reason to get NHL 13, unless major presentation improvements are made.

With the presentation improvements already in NHL 12 and the gameplay being about as good as we'll see on this generation of consoles, I see NHL 12 lasting me a long time. Long enough to accomplish this task.

A great undertaking is a great understatement. Keep us posted on how you're doing.
